Technology is amazing

My wife has spent a fair amount of time in radiology departments and evaluates CT scans on a daily basis.

According to her, the 3D reconstructions are mostly nice-looking gimmicks with little value for the radiologist.

Indeed. It really showed nothing. But it's pretty cool nevertheless.

I can see it being of more use for orthopedic issues to properly assess fractures.

The marketing department probably loves it. I bet they say "it demos well".

Sure does. However, it's basically just an "add-on" to the existing technology. Just software, and no additional work needed.

No “additional data,” hence of little additional value for the radiologists. Makes sense.

I know a woman that owns a 3D sonogram business. It’s marketed directly to pregnant women for the keepsakes, it doesn’t operate as a medical radiology facility at all.

Great 3D images though.

Yes. for soft tissue, I agree.

But I also said, "I can see it being of more use for orthopedic issues to properly assess fractures."

Several of the guys I used to work with found them quite useful.
